When it comes to sibling rivalry, Tess Boade is taking it to the soccer field, proving that family competition is alive and well in the NWSL.

In a league buzzing with drama and talent, Bay FC midfielder Tess Boade is making waves, both on and off the pitch. Despite recent investigations into the team’s coaching environment that saw a third of the roster depart, Boade remains optimistic, describing the current team culture as “intentional” and passionate.

Sisterly Love Meets Competitive Spirit

The real headline, however, is Boade’s epic face-off with her younger sister Meg, who plays for Washington Spirit. During their March match, the sisters traded jerseys and shared a heartwarming “big sister moment” after Washington defeated Bay FC 2-0. Tess dreams of one day wearing matching jerseys with her sister, proving that family bonds transcend team loyalties.

Breaking Barriers in Women’s Sports

Boade isn’t just playing soccer; she’s championing women’s sports growth. She believes strategic partnerships with companies like Invisalign can help elevate women’s athletic visibility. With Bay FC currently ranked eighth in the NWSL, Tess remains confident, stating their goal is to “get points every single game”.

Historic Moment on the Horizon

Fans have something extra exciting to look forward to: Bay FC’s upcoming match at Oracle Park will be the first-ever professional women’s soccer game in the MLB stadium. Talk about breaking glass ceilings – or in this case, stadium barriers!

Whether she’s facing off against her sister or pushing for women’s sports representation, Tess Boade is proving that soccer is more than just a game – it’s a family affair.
